Author Notes

I seem to have a thing for blueberries and corn. This recipe really reminded me of blueberry cornmeal pancakes in a deconstructed sort of way. I freely borrowed from the NY Times Temporary Vegetarian recipe (by way of Jean Georges) but adapted to my own tastes. It is good both hot and cold and it is fairly sweet from the corn. The blueberries and lime juice give it a bit of balance. —rbnyc

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 8 Ears of Corn
  • 1-2 jalapeno pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 lime
  • salt to taste
  • 1 pinch cayenne
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Husk corn and remove silk.
  3. Using a box grater, grate corn into a medium-sized cast iron (or similar) skillet. This should result in a sweet/milky appearance in the skillet.
  4. Finely mince jalapeno or other hot pepper and add to skillet. Stir to combine.
  5. Put skillet in oven. After 15 minutes add blueberries.
  6. After approximately 20 minutes remove from oven. Corn should have browned edges at rim of skillet.
  7. Combine into bowl. Stir in butter, juice of 1/2 lime, salt to taste and a pinch of cayenne (optional).

Hope you try this one. We had it the other night with grilled soft-shelled crabs and seared padron peppers. Very nice summer meal.

I love your combo of flavors and am a big fan of corn and blueberries together.
